Sometimes there will be students in your class who are upset or anxious. Calmly assure them that there is help available and help them to contact the lecturer.
As well as informing the lecturer, you can also direct them to the following resources below:
-
UNSW Mental Health Support Information:
https://student.unsw.edu.au/mental-health-support
-
UNSW Psychology and Wellness – Mental Health Connect -
https://student.unsw.edu.au/mhc
– once you have contacted them, they will contact you to discuss your situation and make recommendations based on your circumstances. All contact with them is completely confidential.
-
UNSW Student Support -
https://student.unsw.edu.au/advisors
– they can help with personalised advice and information about university life, wellbeing, academic performance or if you need help but don’t know where to go.
You may wish to email the student later and ask how they are going with an assignment but don’t send any follow up emails enquiring into anything personal
